Black Flame and Couples Kissing in the Rain

Today I desire to explore opposite ends of the emotional spectrum, if such a thing exists. The phrase “Moth to a flame” inspired Black Flame. Could there be a Black Flame that repels moths, and if so, using the situation as a metaphor for un-reciprocated love (that’s different from unrequited by the way), could there be a more somber end to one’s heart? I suppose this would be the “dark” end of the emotional spectrum…

On a more uplifting note, I ran across this photo (to the right of the poem), and felt drawn to it. The photographer captured something lovely, quaint, and heart-warming. While I key this, I have yet to write the poem, so this will be more off the cuff. I will attempt to polish it somewhat before I post. I love how her heels have risen off the ground…

Ayesha, you are so kind. You, of all the people I’ve met online, understand what an incredible lift kind words lend a writer’s heart and soul. A part of you DOES die, doesn’t it. Yes, the lover has no choice… With supporting words such as yours, I would never consider ceasing from writing. I must write. I have no choice anymore…and I love it! Thank you for commenting. Your words have made my day brighter.
